Eco-Friendly Actions in the Arcachon Bay
Welcome to the Arcachon Bay area—a natural setting perfect for your vacation. As an iconic destination in the Gironde region, well known for its unspoiled natural areas as well as its maritime activities, it is important that everyone do their part to maintain the natural quality of this environment through small, everyday actions, in order to preserve and ensure the long-term sustainability of this exceptional site.
Afin de contribuer, chacun à son niveau à cette effort collectif, nous vous proposons ici quelques écogestes simples pouvant être mis en pratique durant votre séjour.
Let's eat local and seasonal foods
In local shops and markets, you’ll find a wide variety of seasonal local products on offer, including both seafood (oysters, fish, etc.) and produce from the land. Be sure to try the regional specialties.
Let's promote eco-friendly transportation
Whether by bike or on foot, you can explore the Bassin while leaving your car at the lodge. With over 200 km of bike paths and hiking trails, you can discover the Bassin’s splendors at your own pace while enjoying the natural surroundings.
Let's take our trash with us when we go out
When you go for a walk or to the beach, always bring a small trash bag to pick up any litter that might have been left behind by inconsiderate visitors, so we can help restore our natural areas to their full splendor.
Let's stay on the marked and maintained trails
Whether you’re at the beach, where there are designated paths through the dunes, or in natural areas, please use the designated paths to help preserve the environment.
Even on vacation, I sort my trash
Recycling doesn’t take a break, so let’s keep up our good habits:
- The yellow bin for everything that can be recycled
- The blue or Green bin for glass
- The black bin for household waste
